My friend’s hen is supposed to be an Easter Egger, but she just laid her first egg and it’s green. Do you think she is not an Easter Egger? The egg looks like our Olive Egger’s color.

Easter eggers can lay all sort of colors, including green. However, that particular hen shows all the signs of being a Legbar/Welsumer cross, which is a common cross to create olive eggers. Olive eggers are Easter eggers but they are produced from specific crosses to get those olive green eggs.
Ok! Thank you for replying, I appreciate it!
